Crazier and Crazier

Those who make them are like them; so is everyone who trusts in them Psalm 115:8 We become like what we revere. We become like who we respect. We become like those we admire. We become like those we imitate. And we become like people we hang out with. The Bible is clear throughout that […]

Knowing God

Dear Pastor Lawyer, This time, I have a good question. At least I think it’s a good question. It has me stumped. I was previewing some devotional material on Android and one of them said that the key to understanding God isn’t what we think about God, it’s what God thinks about God. So what […]

Converting the Soul

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul (Ps. 19:7) Most Christians know this verse. Maybe you have it memorized in a song. I remember singing a song with this verse in it when I was in the Navy, long before I ever read it in the Bible. It is one of those […]
